He continues CPR with a couple of more chest pumps and breaths of air. Miraculously, the pup lets out a whimper. With assistance from a friend, Esmero starts to fan the dog and give it comforting belly rubs. Finally, the dog releases a loud bark, signaling that he's on the road to recovery. By the end of the clip, the pooch is in fairly stable condition.

Although the cause of the canine's collapsing is unclear, judging by the location it could have been the result of heat stroke.
